Those Were the Plagues
Those Were The Plagues
Sung to the tune of "Those Were the Days"
God sent Moses with a plea to Pharoah
Pharoah told him he should go away.
Next day, when the kids went to school in Egypt,
All the water in the fountains was type A!
( Chorus)
Those were the plagues, my friends
We thought they'd never end
The blood and frogs and hail and beasts and lice
And Pharaoh just says no
Won't let our people go
But keeping slaves just isn't very nice.
Later frogs infested all of Egypt
And when they left, the lice were spreading, too.
But worse than that were wild beasts that plagued us
God had opened all the cages in the zoo!
( Chorus)
Fifth, came outbreaks; later came the break-outs,
Boils, then winds of hail and locusts blew.
After that came darkness, total blackout
There was nothing the electric company could do!
Those were the plagues, my friends
We thought they'd never end,
But then they did, with tragedy and woe.
When all the firstborn died, then all of Egypt cried
(sing slowly)
And Pharaoh said he'd let my people go!
